La vie recluse en poësie suivi de Présence et poësie de Daniel-Rops
One repaired tear at foot of spine, handsome full-margined copy.
Signed autograph inscription from Patrice de La Tour du Pin to Robert Mainguet.

Copies inscribed by the author, i.e. a handwritten dedication to a close friend. As moving accounts of the genesis of the book and the writer's links with the people of his time, inscriptions are a unique record of the author's life.
Second issue, printed in March-April 1917, one month after the first edition published in February of the same year.
Publisher's red cloth.
Exceptional inscribed copy signed by H.G. Wells to André Citroën: “To André Citröen who has to do his share in making a new world out of a very shattered old one. From H. G. Wells.”
The inscription echoes the chapter of the book entitled New arms for old ones, in which Wells describes the armament factory created by Citroën to remedy the French artillery weakness. Reconverted at the end of the war, the factory will become the first Citroën automobile manufacturer.
First edition, one of 1,000 numbered copies.
A pleasant copy.
Signed and dated presentation inscription from Michel Butor to Joëlle Bensa.
